Listening to your system

Using the Quick Setup

You can use the Quick Setup to get your
system up and running with just a few button
presses. The receiver automatically makes
the necessary settings after you have
selected your room size and listening
position.
If you want to make more specific settings,
refer to The System Setup menu.
Use the front panel controls for the steps
below.
1 Press STANDBY/ON to switch on.
2 Press QUICK SETUP.
3 Use the MULTI JOG dial to choose your
room size.
Depending on the distance of your speakers
from the listening position, choose between
small, medium, or large (

S,

M or L), M being

an average-sized room.
4 Press ENTER.
5 Use the MULTI JOG dial to choose your
listening position.
You can cycle between the following choices:

• FWD — If you are nearer to the front
speakers than the surround speakers
• MID — If you are equal distance from the
front and surround speakers
• BACK — If you are nearer to the surround
speakers than the front speakers

6 Press ENTER to confirm your setup.
The display shows the room size and listening
position that you have selected.

Important
• Certain features explained in this section will
not be possible depending on the source (for
example, PCM 88.2 kHz/96 kHz, DTS 96 kHz
(24 bit) or WMA9 Pro sources).

Auto playback

The simplest, most direct listening option is the
Auto Surround feature. With this, the receiver

for auto playback of a source.
Press repeatedly until

AUTO SURR. shows briefly

in the display (it will then show the decoding or
playback format). Check the digital format
indicators in the display to see how the source is
being processed.

Note

accordingly using

2 Pro Logic II MOVIE.

• The Auto Surround feature is canceled if you

connect headphones or select the multichannel analog

inputs.

Listening in surround sound

Using this receiver, you can listen to any source
in surround sound. However, the options
available will depend on the type of source you're
listening to.

which you like.
• Press ADV.SURR.(ADVANCED SURROUND)
repeatedly to select a listening mode.

• ADV. MOVIE — Suitable for movie sources.
• ADV. MUSIC — Suitable for music sources.

sound for two-channel sources.
• EX. POWER (Extra Power) — Gives multichannel
sound to a stereo source, using all of your speakers.
• VIR. SURR — A virtual surround effect using just
the subwoofer and front speakers.
• PHONESUR. (Phones Surround) — Creates the
effect of overall surround with headphones.
Note

Use with Dolby Pro Logic for a stereo surround

effect (stereo field is wider than Standard modes
with Dolby Digital sources).

Setting the effect options

When using surround effects, there are a number of
settings you can adjust.
1 Press EFFECT/CH SEL repeatedly to select the
setting you want to adjust.
Depending on the current status / mode of the
receiver, certain options may not appear. Check the
table below for notes on this.
2 Use the LEVEL+/– buttons to set it as necessary.
See the table below for the options available for each
setting. The defaults, if not stated, are listed in bold.
3 Press EFFECT/CH SEL again to adjust other
settings.

Using the Virtual Surround Back mode

Selecting this mode allows you to hear a virtual
surround back channel through your surround
speakers. For example, you can choose to listen to
sources with no surround back channel information
(for example, 5.1 encoded material) with emulated 6.1
encoding (

VSB ON). Sometimes the material may

sound better in the 5.1 format for which it was
originally encoded. In this case you can simply switch
it off (

VSB OFF).

• Press VSB MODE (front panel) to select a virtual
surround back channel option.
Each press cycles through the options as follows:

• VSB ON — Virtual Surround Back is always used
(for example, on 5.1 encoded material)
• VSB OFF — Virtual Surround Back mode is
switched off
Note

• You can't use the Virtual Surround Back mode with

headphones or with the

STEREO / DIRECT mode.

Listening in stereo

When you select

STEREO or DIRECT, you will hear the

source through just the front left and right speakers
(and subwoofer). Dolby Digital and DTS multichannel
sources are downmixed to stereo.
• While listening to a source, press STEREO for
stereo playback.
Press repeatedly to switch between:

• STEREO — The audio is heard with your surround
settings and you can still use the Midnight,
Loudness, and tone functions.

• DIRECT — Bypass all effects and surround
settings so that the audio remains as close to the
source audio signal as possible.
• AUTO SURR. — See Auto playback above.
Note

DIRECT switches to STEREO when using Midnight,

Loudness, Dialog Enhancement, or the tone controls.

Using the Sound Retriever

When audio data is removed during the
compression process, sound quality often suffers
from an uneven sound image. The Sound Retriever
feature employs new DSP technology that helps
bring CD quality sound back to compressed
2-channel audio by restoring sound pressure and
smoothing jagged artifacts left over after
compression.
• While listening to a source, press S.RETRIEVER.
Press repeatedly to switch between:

• RTRV1 ON — This option is engineered
especially for portable digital audio players.
• RTRV2 ON — This option is engineered
especially for portable digital radio devices (only
applicable when using the

FRONT AUDIO INPUT).

• OFF — Switches the Sound Retriever off.

listening to surround sound at low volumes).
DUAL MONO — You can specify how dual
mono encoded Dolby Digital soundtracks
should be played (dual mono is sometimes
used when two languages need to be sent to
separate channels).
